Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The object appeared to be a bright, shiny yellow at first, but when I got back with my camera it was going all metallic and seemed to be getting darker. I could see a slight haze around the bottom of it, but I'm not sure what that was. When it disappeared it just faded out from the right hand side, until it was just a shimmer in the air, then it was gone entirely.

Size of Object(s)

Relative size was maybe an inch across, but I couldn't tell how big it was, as it was quite a distance away

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

I'm not great with estimating distances- maybe 200 feet high?

Description of Area / Surroundings

Fairly rural area, I live 2km from a town, although the object was between me and the town. No power plants or military bases nearby. There's a gliding club in Aboyne, about 40km away, but I've never seen a glider near my house, and this didn't look anything like one.

Full Description & Details

I was walking my dogs at 1:30 when one of them started barking and looking up; I looked up and saw a large metallic-yellow object seeming to hover above the woods near my house. I watched it for a minute or two, and it didn't seem to move at all, just hung there. I eventually remembered my camera and ran back to the house to get it, but by the time I got back it was beginning to disappear. It was really weird, just seemed to fade away from the right hand side until it was totally gone. I don't know if it had left or if it was still there, just invisible, but I took a load more photos of the patch of sky where it had been. Once I got them onto my PC and blew them up, I could see a slight shimmer on one of them, but apart from that they all just looked normal. I'm telling you, I'm still shaking now, it seriously freaked me out. I've never seen anything like it!

To be honest I'm still pretty scared- i do't know if it's gone or if it's still there, hovering above the woods. Except for looking for UFO sites on the internet I haven't done much all day except sit with my telescope and watch that patch of sky; I'm planning on sitting up tonight to see If there're any lights in the sky, so there's a chance I'll be filling in another form like this tomorrow!

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

definitely didn't look like anythin I've seen before, and the way it disappeared was like nothing on earth.

Witness Background

I'm about to start my first year at Edinburgh University to study veterinary medecine, but up 'til now my education has been at Banchory Academy

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I haven't really thought about UFOs before. Haven't read much about them, so apart from on TV this is the first time I've looked into them at all. I definitely believe in them now!

Other Comments

I just hope it isn't still there, it's really freaking me out.
